Daily Mass: The Canticle of Simeon. Catholic Inspiration

Simeon, filled with the Holy Spirit, held the baby Jesus in his arms and praised God, saying:

“Lord, now let your servant go in peace;your word has been fulfilled:my own eyes have seen the salvationwhich you prepared in the sight of every people,a light to reveal you to the nationsand the glory of your people Israel.” (Luke 2:29-32)

May our eyes be open, to see God’s hand touching and blessing our lives today!
